Season the shrimp with the Essence, then add to the boiling water. Boil for 2 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and allow the shrimp to sit in the hot liquid for 2 minutes, or until cooked through.

Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the water and let cool. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid for the dipping sauce. When the shrimp are cool enough to handle, cut lengthwise in half.

Fill a large bowl with hot water. Place a clean kitchen towel next to the bowl. Submerge 1 rice paper wrapper in the water and soak it until softened, about 1 minute. Carefully remove the rice paper from the water and lay it flat on the towel.

In the center of the sheet, layer one-eighth of the soaked noodles, 4 lettuce pieces, about 20 sprouts, 4 shrimp halves arranged side by side in a row, 4 mint leaves, 4 cilantro sprigs, and one-eighth of the carrots. Pull the bottom up over the filling, fold over the sides, and roll up like an egg roll. Place seam side down on a plate and repeat the process with the remaining rice papers and filling.
